Dovecliff Hall, Georgian country house in Stretton, England
This red brick residence features a Westmorland slate roof, symmetrical five-window frontage, and stands within 40 acres near the River Dove.
Thomas Thornewill, a forge owner, initiated the construction of Dovecliff Hall in the 1790s, establishing it as his family residence for generations.
Two daughters of Edward Thornewill developed social connections with King Edward VII, connecting the hall to British royal society.
The property currently operates as a hotel, providing accommodation and hosting spaces for weddings, conferences, and private celebrations.
Former resident Hugh Spencer Charrington from the brewing industry acquired the estate in 1897 after initially living there as a tenant.
